missed out on
the chance to
fight for his first individual
victory for Wake Forest
when the General
Hackler Championship
was reduced to 36 holes
because of inclement
weather at Myrtle Beach.
The 21-year-old
international from The
Island, a semi-finalist
in last year's British
Amateur and a bronze
medalist with Ireland in
the Eisenhower Trophy,
finished third on seven-
under-par at The Dunes
Golf & Beach Club as Wake
Forest took the team
honours by 10 strokes
from Kent State.
"We knew going into
yesterday's first round that
there was a possibility of a
36-hole event," said head
coach Jerry Haas after
Wake Forest's 10-shot
team win over Kent State.
"The team came out
ready to play. This core
group of juniors and
sophomores have brought
us close to 10 team and
individual victories over
the past two seasons.
McBride opened with
a 67 to take the lead, then
added a 70 on Saturday
afternoon to finish two
strokes behind Wake
Forest team-mate Will
Zalatoris, who shot rounds
of 68 and 67 to win by one
shot from Kent State's Ian
Holt on nine-under par.
The Deacs will return
to action at the Valspar
Collegiate Invitational in
Palm City, Florida, from
March 19-21.
